Well, at least somebody's being honest about the "crackdown" on illegal protests being one big joke.
A photo montage on the Internet ridicules the arrest of protestors in a candlelit vigil, mocking it as a ``chicken cage car tour.'' A patrol wagon, usually a big bus with cage-like, steel-bared windows, is often called ``dakjangcha,'' literally meaning chicken cage car in Korean. |

In a new form of voluntary defiance of the use of police force, citizens and students protesting the imports of U.S. beef turned themselves into authorities, making the crackdown on what they call illegal candlelit vigils more complicated.
Protestors call it a ``chicken cage tour,'' a mocking of the voluntary tour in the riot police bus to the police station after the turn-in. The riot police bus, mostly a modified big bus with cage-like, steel-bared windows, is often called ``dakjang'' here which literally means a chicken cage.
